South Burnett Express Rail Trail Relay - 2026!

Liberty Oil Kingaroy serves as the handover point for the South Burnett Express Rail Trail Relay. This team event follows the rhythm of the old rail-trail between Kingaroy and Wondai and back. It offers the atmosphere of a club weekend rather than a formal city race, focusing on running, teamwork, and appreciating this scenic part of Queensland, with enough bragging rights to encourage faster running. Teams have one runner out at a time, passing the tag to the next person to keep the line moving. This involves significant waiting, cheering, tactical second-guessing, and clock-watching. The first team to return to Kingaroy wins, but the event primarily gathers like-minded runners of all fitness levels for a weekend getaway and enjoyment. Children have their own race, and the day concludes with a local tradition: a post-race BBQ payable by cash or card.
